Kyrie Irving Thinks The Earth Is Flat

Kyrie Irving, the Cleveland Cavaliers guard who is pulling down $17.64 million this year, has obviously spent very little of his earnings on getting a proper education.

On a recent flight, Irving jumped on the “Road Trippin’ With RJ And Channing” podcast with his teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, and what he had to say likely made Alex Jones cream his shorts.

You see, kids, Kyrie Irving thinks the Earth is flat. No, seriously. He said that:

“This is not even a conspiracy theory,” Irving said. “The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. It’s right in front of our faces. I’m telling you, it’s right in front of our faces. They lie to us. I think people should do their own research, man. Hopefully they’ll either back my belief or they’ll throw it in the water. But I think it’s interesting for people to find out on their own. I’ve seen a lot of things that my educational system has said that was real that turned out to be completely fake. I don’t mind going against the grain in terms of my thoughts.”

Look, I couldn’t give two shits if Kyrie Irving thinks the world is flat, square or made out of Yeezy boots. It seriously has no bearing on how I’ll conduct my personal affairs on a daily basis. On the same front, if he wants to donate $200,000 to the kid who played Rufio in Hook so he can get the Rufio prequel off the ground, go right ahead. I don’t give a flying fuck.

And that should really be how the majority of us view it. Well, at least that’s how Irving thinks we should view it:

Sure, Kyrie. I feel you on that. But I don’t work for Pepsi, Nike, NBA 2K, Activision, PSD, Panini or Foot Locker, who I’m pretty sure don’t want some crazy fucker like this holding up their shoe, soda or video game while he’s talking about how the CIA assassinated Bob Marley…
